I saw these, and knew I had to make them. I mean, do finger foods get any cuter than these? The original recipe called for all sorts of goodies, and the beauty is, you can add whatever you want to these little cups. Whatever will fit, that is. They’re not very big 🙂 Perfectly one (big) bite!
I opted for a very simple chicken, bell pepper, and cheese combo. But you could certainly add beans, or top with lettuce, tomato, salsa, sour cream, etc. The sky is the limit! I served these with Crock Pot Chicken Taco meat that were made into burrito bowls, served with black beans, so I chose to leave the beans out and keep it simple. Gina, Nick, Mr. P, and myself finished them all. Guiltlessly!
Wonton Chicken Tacos adapted from Cooking with Chrissy
12 square wonton wrappers
2 ounces of cooked chicken, shredded
1/4 cup 2% Mexican cheese blend
1/4 cup green bell pepper, finely diced
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 400 F.
Place the wonton wrappers in a mini muffin tin, gently folding the wrapper slightly so they fit into the cups.
Top your wonton wrappers with chicken, bell peppers, and shredded cheese. Bake for 8-9 minutes until the tacos are brown in color. Serve immediately. Yield: 12 wonton tacos.

[/print_this]Kristen and I grocery shopped for a nice homemade meal last night. She chose fettucine with butternut squash, red peppers, and goat cheese. Delicious! And this morning, we splurged with homemade biscuits and gravy (healthied up some!).
During the games later (so much good football on the agenda for today!) I am planning to make more of these Wonton Chicken Cups while Mr. Prevention, of course, has Buffalo Chicken Dip in mind. To each their own 😉

So glad you liked them! They are super cute and fun to make! 🙂
Thanks for your comment today Nicole – I am not going to let the scale dictate my success this past week!
And yes, those look amazing – but I’d still go for the buffalo chicken dip!
I found a recipe for buffalo chicken hummus – can’t wait to try it!

LOVE biscuits and gravy but have never made it. Are you going to post recipe?
Happy Saturday, and have fun with Kristen!
oh these look fantastic! What cute little tacos, perfect portion controlled apps !!
These look delicious! I have some leftover egg roll wrappers. I may try this in a regular sized muffin pan. Thanks for sharing!
Those little wontons look so cute! I like biscuits with veggie gravy! Although I guess I would rather eat the just the biscuits. I can do without the gravy. Hope you are having a great weekend.
And these were DEEEELICIOUS! Two thumbs up 🙂
Can’t wait to see the french dip sandwiches. Yum. The first thing that is going on my wedding registry is a crock pot.
So cute!!! I just have to make this!!!
This post is making me think of all kinds of cool things I could and should do with wonton wrappers! True story, I never had a real biscuit and gravy until we visited Portland and made our way to Pine State Biscuits, after seeing it on the Food Network 🙂
Oh, and did I like it? Of course! What’s not to like about fried chicken, bacon, cheese, and an egg smothered in gravy and sandwiched between a fresh biscuit? (Don’t worry, we shared it, to keep some room for other things we needed to try too, haha.)

Haha, obviously 🙂 I’m new to biscuits and gravy too. I’m not a gravy person unless it’s white breakfast sausage gravy!
These look great! Thanks for the recipe 🙂 And yes, I love biscuits and gravy!
So simple, but sound yummy!
Tried these tonight, they were great and even my husband liked them!
